Settling in

[alt_luna]

Things I like about my new room at the Browns:

The little rag rug that Mrs Weasley gave me fits perfectly beside my bed. Mrs Brown said it's all right for me to have it, because no one will see it.

It's on the uppermost floor--not an attic, really. I think Mrs Brown said it used to be a governess' room. Since it's so high, I can see out my window for miles and miles. There is a little seat by the window, which makes it perfect for curling up there. Perhaps I can make some pillows for the window seat.

Mr Brown said it would be all right if I borrowed books from his library and kept them in my room until I'm finished reading them. He said they wouldn't be missed because no one reads them anyway (I think the library originally came from Mr Brown's father).

Nobody can hear me up here.

What colour is your room, dear?

[alt_luna]

Oh, it's not any particular colour at all. Just white, you know.

Which could be very useful, really. I'd like to paint pictures on the walls, the way I did at home. If they'll let me. I'll have to ask.

I wish I still had the quilt my mum made for me that was on my bed at home. She sewed it from pieces of my old baby clothes and things.

I asked, though, and the Browns haven't been sent anything from my old home. I don't know what happened to it all.

[alt_molly]

I'm afraid I don't know either, Luna. Perhaps...perhaps it's all being held in storage for you, until you're of age? You might ask the Browns to inquire for you.

[alt_luna]

That's a really good idea. I'll ask.

Order Only

[alt_molly]

Oh, Arthur, I keep thinking of the day I went over there, right after Xeno was declared dead, and those vultures were already going through his things. Chucking them out the window, even! I'm so afraid that they destroyed it, or auctioned it all off.

Poor girl, to have none of her keepsakes from growing up...

[alt_molly]

And for her to say that having nobody able to hear her is a nice thing about her room!

Oh, how I wish things had worked out differently!

You may be very sure that we won't forget her, Molly, dear. We'll keep an eye on her, and make sure that she knows she's not alone in the world.
